Smaller parties will be here for a long time as the voters start to get use to this new normal. We will be realigning for sometime as the ANC support dwindles and voters have to find new parties that resonate with them.
Our survival depends on organizations like Gift of the Givers, Afriforum and likewise. We ALL need to participate for our survival. As citizens to stop complaining and start participating and become constructive. It's time!
I find it amazing that Marius missed the essential point. That is, the ANC is losing its dominant position. The mere fact that coalitions are possible is a point to rejoice. At the same time it gives small parties enormous power. This is unfortunate but something we all have to live with in the short term. This phenomenon will however disappear relatively soon as these real small parties will realise that they are more destructive than contributing to building society. We will have to go through this phase, but hopefully 40 different parties will soon become 20 and then 10 and finally 5 or so. The ideal would be to have 3 large parties which will reduce the significance of small parties. It is wishful thinking to assume that the ANC will disappear or reduce in significance anytime soon. Thus, we will have to abide our time, allow the electorate the opportunity to understand that there are alternatives around. An alternative is not a better solution if the alternative cannot deliver. As yet, I am not sure such an alternative is available.
To say the way the ANC are guiding legislation is not like 1930s fascism is to be ignoring the elephant. I’m impressed by Marius’s knowledge, but his conclusions seem to me too “more of the same” to fit with what Alvin Toffler called the “emerging reality”

Some smaller parties it’s about the money and not about service delivery.
